Workshop: Qualitative Research Workshop: Week 4

In this week’s Workshop, visit your unique
thread and carefully review how your research problem and purpose have
evolved and what you have learned about the different approaches.

By Day 3

Post a response to the following prompts:

• Present your research question as two or three versions, based on
  the different approaches you have explored that seem most appropriate to
  your research problem and purpose.
• Make a case for why each approach would work.
• Identify the approach you believe best fits your research question.
  Then, re-formulate the question based on the approach you selected.
• Describe how the approach you selected will direct the procedures you will later develop.
• Summarize your choice of theoretical framework for your prospectus.
  Justify how your choice aligns with your current choice of research
  question and approach. If they are not aligned, choose a more
  appropriate framework.
• Given your choice of approach, describe what data collection tools will be most appropriate to consider. Note:
  This is not a commitment to use all of the tools you identify; rather,
  it is meant to be a reflection on what is possible given your choice of
  approach.
